It would seem that a majority of you have no idea how to properly address a King. I'm not sure if you were all raised in the wilds or if you're just willfully ignorant, but the correct way to refer to me is as Your Grace.

[He's still wearing his crown, even if almost no one here has actually cared about it so far. He's not going to stop dressing like a king just because people aren't treating him like one.]

Now that that's out of the way, I have a request: Could anyone tell me where I could obtain a sword? And a...'gun', it was called. I'm afraid I won't be of much help in the war effort without them.

[As if that's his primary reason for requesting these, but he'll pretend it is.]

Any aid provided will be rewarded in time. I don't forget my allies.

[granddevil]

A king. [ oh, satan loves the arrogant and the fools. ]

Asgard must be certainly proud to have you here.

[Video]

[bratking]

You'd think.

[The way he says that means that no, no one's been proud to have him here at all.]

[She had meant to just leave the little turd alone. Arya wasn't here. Why did she give a shit? But no, the condescension was annoying, just irking. It grated, and she felt like saying something.]

You're not my anything, you little brat. I'm not calling you anything other than 'hey, you. Yeah, you, blondie.' You're king of nothing here.

And find your own damned sword.

[That felt good.]

Audio

[bratking]

And you're a freak who makes friends with traitors. I wouldn't trust a sword you gave me anyways!

[It could...be a fake sword. Or something.]

[Video]

[pmsgargoyle]

King of what? Where is your kingdom, where are your subjects, where is your throne?

[Video]

[bratking]

Westeros. You've never heard of it?

video.

[frothing]

Aren't you a wee bit young to be playing with swords? Or guns.

video.

[bratking]

Kings don't play. I assure you, I take these weapons very seriously.

[God damn it, Joffrey. Eight is bedridden after the battle and just bored enough to respond...somehow.]

Joffrey, we've been over this. You're not a king here. You're just another Traveller.

[Text]

[bratking]

Just because I don't rule this place doesn't mean I'm not a king anymore.

[sicarius]

Mi scusi, but you do not look like a king. You are still only a child.

[Oh boy this is gonna be troll-worthy. He's gonna enjoy this.]

audio;

[bratking]

I hadn't planned on taking the throne so early, but that's how it ended up.

[fire_punk]

You're not my king.

[bratking]

No, but I'm a king and deserve some respect.

[necrowmantic]

Sure thing, your grace!

[It's more friendly than respectful, but what harm did it do going along with it?]

Not sure about any guns. I've had a hard time convincing someone to tell me where they are. I guess I could kill people until I found one, but a lot of folk would get mad about that for some reason.

[bratking]

I wouldn't be mad; go ahead if you want.

[Killing people? No biggie.]

video

[standsonhigh]

Your crown is so adorable. Do you polish it yourself? So shiny.

[He can help but grin like an idiot over this kid. So awfully brilliant.]

For the record, if we're using titles now, you can call Prime Minister. Or Master, if you're feeling in that kind of mood.

video

[bratking]

My servants polish it. It is quite shiny, though.

What does a Prime Minister do? [He'll stick to that title for now.]

Video

[larps]

Sorry kid, but I've already claimed this land in the name of Moondoor. Welcome to the matriarchy.

[A TOTALLY UNDIGNIFIED SNORT OF LAUGHTER FROM THIS END]

[childofthewickedday]

I address my king as Arthur.

[A frown]

No other.

[Video]

[bratking]

Why in the hells would you do that? My name is Joffrey.

audio;

[dishonouring]

[ Oh Joff honey no. This isn't even funny; it's just sad. Look at all those people telling you to cool it. You might be worse than Viserys. ]

One should be aware of how to use a sword before they're given one to wield.

[ No 'Your Grace'. Sorry, pal. You're a Barannister. You ain't his king. He's team Daenerys. ]

audio;

[bratking]

Of course I've been trained to use one, I'm not an idiot.

[Team Daenerys is the worst. Well, after Team Stark.]

video.

[swedge]

[ so that snort sound she just made was totally not on camera, which is too bad. ]

How old are you anyway? Pretty sure if I answered to a King he'd at least have to hit puberty.

[ bitchpleaseface.jpg ]

As for guns, do you know how to use one? Cause getting your hands on one isn't hard. But I'm going have to say lessons first. As for swords, same thing. Citadel has plenty, but there are places in the city you could find them too.

video.

[bratking]

Thirteen. But it doesn't matter; I'm king either way.

I've been trained with a sword. I'd take lessons with a gun, if they were offered.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Oh, dear . . .

[SIGH well everyone's making fun of this kid, he might as well try to soothe him a little.]

We're all sort of equals here, I'm afraid. Titles don't mean much. What are you king of?

[bratking]

What kind of place is this, where people abandon their titles? I've never heard of such a thing before.

[Because he really doesn't want to do that.]

( not here )

[exiling]

[ The name attached to the face is almost enough to bait her. Definitely sees red for a second or two.

But enough people already seem to sense that he sits on a throne of lies (and lbr she has one delusional would-be king enough to deal with right now). No stooping to acknowledging pretenders today. ]

[liquidsky]

Your Grace.

If we don't, will you tell on us?

[Blond, bratty, full of himself. He's reminded of someone.]

[text]

[bratking]

I may have when I was a prince, but now that I'm king I can do what I want by myself.

i'm gonna be that loser that actually gives a serious response i suck i'm sorry

[pratentious]

[ But Arthur has to laugh, just a little bit, when he first sees the video. In another life at another time, he might've made this exact same post, and it took him ages of living in this place to be comfortable dropping his title. It's not exactly easy, so he can understand that.

Still, though. Cool your jets, bro.

Arthur only turns on the feed after giving it a moment's consideration ( and sighing at most of the other responses ). He isn't wearing his own kingly regalia ( because wow, kid, ostentatious much? ), sat instead in a simple tunic and trousers at his desk. He'll effect some air of formality if only because - well, he knows how it goes. ]

Your Grace.

[ Joffrey said a King, not your King. Arthur can respect that. ]

If I might offer my assistance, one King to another.

[ Subtle like a subtle thing. He will teach you so many neat tricks, Joffrey! ]

[bratking]

[He has a hard time accepting kings other than himself, but at least this one addressed him properly and is likely no competition for his crown in Westeros.]

I've been told there were other kings here, but you're the first I've met.

What is it?

[Video]

[chinsup]

[Oh, the boy she met upon arrival.]

That is no way to present yourself to the public.

[How rude.]

Did your keepers not teach you any manners? Even Katniss holds herself with more elegance and grace than you do and she was actually raised in the wild.

[Video]

[bratking]

Most of them haven't shown me any manners!

[He folds his arms over his chest and pouts. Still a child, no matter how hard he denies it.]

They call me boy and child and kid even though I've told them not to. Your Grace would be proper, but they could at least not call me that.

[tigers]

I wager old Queen Vicky will have a thing or two to say against that, chummy.

Why should this lot waste one of their guns on you?

text;

[bratking]

Who is Queen Vicky? I've never heard of her.

And it wouldn't be a waste. I'm very good with my crossbow, I could learn to use a gun just as well.

video

[airborn]

[It becomes easier and easier to tell which of the people are new.]

They sell swords and guns in some of the stores. The nice ones cost a lot, though.

[She grins, a little too widely.]

Maybe you could sell the shiny bauble on your head to pay for them if you don't have enough right now.

video

[bratking]

[Well, he has to have one of the nice ones, but...]

This is my family's crown, worn by my father, to be passed on to my first-born son and his and so on. I could never sell it.

[therightchoice]

You are a king? That's cool, all the kings back home are all old and stuff, but they don't do anything really. Do you have a queen?

[ So innocent. ]

I dunno about guns. But if you do, you got to be really careful. They can hurt you a lot if you aren't careful. People lose their hearing or break a rib when they do it wrong.

[bratking]

I'm betrothed to someone, but not married yet.

And I've used plenty of weapons before, I know what to do not to be hurt. [Mostly because he's never been in an actually serious battle.]

video;

[dyingisnotdead]

...anyone who would give you a sword is an idiot.

[bratking]

Haven't you had enough of this foolish behavior, Ser Loras? Apologize now and I may forgive you.

[audio]

[allpurposescarf]

Are you? I don't see a kingdom anywhere.

[audio]

[bratking]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Of course you don't. It's far away.

video

[subecho]

It is good of a king to wish to take to the field with his people. You have some valour.

video

[bratking]

If the king didn't fight, the warriors would lose confidence.

[Except he'd totally run away like a coward if he thought he was going to die.]

[becauseichooseto]

[Well, the King bit was shot down very fast, wasn't it.] While I applaud your industriousness, Your Grace, I ought to point out that a gun… is not the most reliable of weapons. Particularly to newcomers. They're as likely to injure you as your opponent, if you're not terribly careful… and wars, alas, rarely give room for care to be taken.

[bratking]

What is a more reliable weapon, then?
